The FARDC military police prepare for the opening ceremonies of MEDFLAG 10, Sept. 6, 2010 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. MEDFLAG 10 is a joint training exercise between U.S. and Congolese militaries preparing for medical and civic assistance and mass casualty training.

FARDC infantry carry an injured man a couple of hundred meters from the front line on a makeshift stretcher. Very rudimentary medicine — a tourniquet for his gunshot leg and an injection for pain relief. They had to carry him around three kilometers back to where the doctor tended to him (Photo: Joseph Kay).
